CAPEI – Our Vision
CA Polio Eradication Initiative 2009 (CAPEI)
About CAPEI
CAPEI is the first international outreach project birthed in March 2009 embarked upon by CA Commission. It aims to employ several strategies to aid towards polio eradication primarily in Nigeria over a limited period.
CA Commission hopes to be able to utilise transferrable skills and knowledge gained through CAPEI in the area of ongoing health education in Nigeria and the rest of the world.
The Vision for CAPEI
To do our part in the global efforts to eradicate polio
By: Educating, Encouraging and Empowering
• Increasing global awareness of the prevalence of polio in endemic countries including Nigeria
• Educating the local communities particularly in the Northern States of Nigeria about Polio and their need for adequate immunisation
• Encouraging both local and international participation in the efforts of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) through financial donation and active participation
• Empowering Nigeria to achieve the strategies set out by the GPEI in order for Africa to be deemed a polio free WHO region
• Educating, Encouraging and Empowering Nigerian individuals to be responsible for the immunisation and subsequent health of their children
